New Mutes!
We had callbacks last night and we’re happy to announce that we have two new “mutes” in Fundamentally Sound:
- Tyrell Harris
- Ryan Anderson
To those of you at callbacks who didn’t make, believe me when I say that this was one of the most impressive set of auditionees that the group has ever seen. Please stay involved with music and try out again in the future; our group has a lot of guys who auditioned more than once before making it. Joining one of UW-Madison’s choirs or taking voice lessons independently are both great ways to improve your voice.
